Furitek Terra COMP 1/18 ARTR Crawler
Power, durability and precise control in a compact RC crawler platform
The Furitek Terra COMP is a 1/18-scale ARTR crawler built for technical gates and rock lines where low weight, breakover clearance, and precise throttle response matter. Its factory-installed carbon chassis, aluminum high-clearance links, steel driveshafts, weighted competition tires, and Furitek brushless system create a performance-focused starting point without requiring a full custom build.
Two equipment levels are available: the standard crawler and a version with the Micro Tesla DigiBoard. Both use the same core Terra COMP hardware; the DigiBoard version adds onboard ESC configuration, live telemetry, and alerts.

Key Furitek Terra COMP Features
 Carbon Competition ChassisThe full carbon-fiber chassis provides a rigid, lightweight platform for repeatable suspension and steering behavior. Its low-mass foundation also gives tuners more control over weight placement. |
 10-Degree Aluminum SkidThe angled skid improves breakover clearance and helps protect the driveshaft area from hanging on sharp ledges. It works with the high-clearance links to reduce center-chassis contact. |
 Aluminum Links and Steel DriveshaftsHigh-clearance suspension links create more room around rocks, while aluminum steering links support precise input. Hardened steel driveshafts carry brushless torque to the axles. |
 Micro Stellar Brushless SystemThe compact transmission and outrunner system deliver smooth startup control for technical crawling. Furitek smartphone app tuning adjusts throttle and brake behavior without a computer. |
 Weighted Competition TiresCompetition crawler tires and brass hex weights place useful mass near the wheels for traction and stability on steep lines. Match tuning and maintenance to the added driveline load. |
 Magnetic Body MountsMagnetic mounts keep the body installation clean and allow fast, tool-free access between runs. Recheck alignment and retention after hard impacts or demanding course use. |
What the Micro Tesla DigiBoard Adds
| Function | Practical benefit |
|---|---|
Onboard ESC configuration |
Adjust supported Furitek ESC settings without a phone or computer |
Live telemetry |
View battery voltage, motor speed, ESC temperature, and supported data |
Low-voltage and overheat alarms |
Adds visible operating alerts |
Throttle calibration |
Calibrate from the OLED interface |
Compact dashboard display |
Keeps important data mounted on the crawler |
The standard version still supports Furitek smartphone tuning. The DigiBoard is an additional control and information surface, not a requirement for basic operation.

Terra COMP Features and Performance
Terra COMP RTR Platform Overview
Battery and First-Run Setup
- Select a 2S or 3S LiPo that fits approximately 13 × 28 mm.
- Verify PH 2.0 connector polarity before plugging in.
- Secure the battery without pinching wires or interfering with suspension movement.
- Begin with conservative throttle and brake settings.
- If equipped, configure DigiBoard alarms before the first demanding run.
- Recheck driveshafts, links, steering, and magnetic body mounts after initial use.
Pros and Considerations
| Strength | Consideration and workaround |
|---|---|
Premium carbon, aluminum, and steel hardware |
Specialized parts still require routine inspection |
Smooth brushless control |
Aggressive tuning or 3S use can increase heat and stress |
10-degree skid and high-clearance links |
Course performance still depends on line choice and tire setup |
App tuning plus optional DigiBoard |
DigiBoard adds complexity; choose it only if telemetry is useful |
ARTR radio package |
Battery and charger must be purchased separately |
Is the Terra COMP Right for You?
The Terra COMP suits drivers who want a competition-oriented 1/18 crawler without sourcing every chassis component separately. Its clearance geometry and brushless control focus on technical crawling, while the radio system and assembled chassis shorten setup time.
For a casual beginner, a complete RTR with battery and charger may be simpler. For an enthusiast comfortable with LiPo fitment and tuning, the Terra COMP offers a strong base with a clear choice between phone-only control and onboard DigiBoard telemetry.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does ARTR mean for the Terra COMP?
The crawler, electronics, and radio system are assembled, but the drive battery and charger are not included. Add a correctly sized compatible LiPo before operation.
What battery does it need?
Use a 2S–3S LiPo around 13 × 28 mm with a PH 2.0 SCX24-style connector and verified polarity.
What is the Micro Tesla DigiBoard?
It is an optional onboard OLED control and telemetry unit. It supports ESC configuration, throttle calibration, live data, and operating alarms.
Do I need the DigiBoard to tune the crawler?
No. The standard Terra COMP supports Furitek smartphone app tuning. The DigiBoard adds onboard access and telemetry.
What is the benefit of the 10-degree skid?
Its angle increases breakover clearance and reduces the chance of the center chassis hanging on sharp obstacles.
Is the Terra COMP ready for beginners?
It can be driven by a newer hobbyist, but battery selection, brushless tuning, and competition geometry make it better suited to users with basic RC setup knowledge.
Where can I get spare parts?
Use the Terra-series parts links and product-specific upgrade listings on HeliDirect. Verify exact Terra COMP compatibility before purchase.
